Yes, I know I am a day late (Pacific time) with my post but I believe that peace transcends all time and situations, if only we will allow it to happen.

Peace is not the absence of violence but also has the presence of justice, according to Mahatma Gandhi.

Peace is a rare commodity.Its a commodity because it is expensive. Billions are spent to curtail war, to stop terrorism, to have peace. But with all the families broken, the souls destroyed, antiquities forever gone, do we even say that peace has been achieved? Are we even happy with the way things turned out? Can we truly say that we feel safe and secured? Can we really say that justice has been served or is being served or will be served to those who truly deserve it?

I do not understand why people have to fight over territories, why people have to prove who reigns supreme. Maybe I do not want to really understand for if I do, I would believe that this is the right way and therefore would promote the fighting. Why can’t people learn to live with each other, accept each others’ uniqueness and eccentricities and maybe, we would have peace. But this is hard, for everyone has his own agenda, his own reasons for the actions being done, and his own righteous beliefs?

Oppression. Killing. Famine. War. Terrorism. Environmental destruction. Natural disaster. Even family matters that seem trivial, all these and more, cause disturbance of peace.

Through it all, maybe peace is a mindset, a lifestyle and a kind of wishful thinking. With all the negative things happening, can one really have a peaceful mindset? I do not know if I am even making any sense here, I feel like I am rambling.

The Bible says that: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:6).

Thank you, Mimi, for starting this Blog Blast for Peace where bloggers can stand up as one voice and express our feelings about this matter. Here is Mimi’s Blog Blast for Peace Revolution of Words post.

A personal digital assistant or PDA is rewarding in so many ways.

What I am using right now, Palm T3 is quite handy, though this has been released years ago. There are many features that one can use repeatedly. These are some of the features: Calendar, Task Suite, Contacts page, MS Word, MS Excel, Real Player, Adobe Reader and a lot more features that one can ever need, well, as far as when this model was released 😉

Text twist? Photos? Vice memo and recorder? Alarm Clock? I got these too.

But of course, there is no wi-fi with this model. Can’t have everything. But, there is Bluetooth and it can be used to send and receive text messages, as long as my cell phone’s Bluetooth is connected.

If only the battery life will stay longer, I am perfectly content. Well, we really can’t have it all.

Consolidate what? The debt. Having debts is not a good position to be in. People with debt can not have peace of mind because they tend to think about how they could come up with ways to pay for the debt they have incurred. People with debts sometimes would not want to answer their ringing phones for fear of talking with bill collectors. When collectors call and remind about the debt, sometimes in brazen manners, and when unpaid  bills come through the mail, these are not moments one would not want to savor and remember.

Debt settlement is one of the ways people with debt can choose so that they can really pay their unpaid dues. One of the most trusted debt consolidation programs, established since 1997 is No Debt Today. No Debt Today will help people with debt reclaim their financial freedom.

People dream of owning their own homes. Who wouldn’t? Having and living in one’s own home is not just a dream come true but having the feeling of being secured, surrounded loved ones and being comfortable in a home one can call his own. Having one’s own home can also make the homeowners feel good to make the home suitable to fit their needs and of course, make the home look good for decorative purposes.

Is it easy then to have one’s own home? Having one’s own home is not an easy task to do. There are so many documents that need to be completed and filed, financing schemes and of course, the payment options. One of the ways to finance a home is to get home loans. There are so many questions to be considered before getting a loan to purchase a home. Terms like lender, broker, loan amount, loan term, and interest rates, the list will go on and one. It is good to have Mortgage Finders Network to help find answers to the questions that would lead to the acquisition of one’s own home. All one eeds is to take the first step towards getting one’s own home.
